47. Let's do a little math shall we.. |
|
current rate of CO2 production from man made sources... 30 BILLION metric tonnes per year.
This device...365 tonnes per year removed. Cost 100,000 pounds or $200,000.
Cost to eliminate CO2 (not reduce what is in the atmosphere already, but simply NOT increase it further)
30,000,000,000 / 365 = 82,191,780 devices at a cost of about $16,438 BILLION dollars.
Or $16.5 Trillion.
Now, building 82 million of the devices might cause a significant per device price drop.
So... maybe only $1.6 Trillion.
Better call the Chinese and ask about another loan.
